No ****, well I feel dumb lol! Works like a charm.
Edit: berkmanmd I thanked you simply cause you only had 1!

Lol, me too.never had to reboot before.
Should I notice a difference in speed?
Only reason I ask is cause what my phone should do and what it actually does is way different sometimes.

Maybe a dumb question from a curious Swede, but is this the "NS4G GRJ90" OTA we've been waiting for? :S

No, just prl update

Thanks
Still dreaming bout faster speeds.
I laugh when I see people saying they have slow speeds at 3 mbps down and 1-1.5 mbps up. And I get .15-.3 kbs down and up speed is usually double that, on a good day.
Anyway, just checking

PRL
(Preferred Roaming List)
The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of some kinds of digital phones. It lists the radio frequencies the phone can use in various geographic areas.
The part of the list for each area is ordered by the bands the phone should try to use first. Therefore it's a kind of priority list for which towers the phone should use.
The PRL helps determine which home-network towers to use, and also which towers belonging to other networks to use in roaming situations (areas where the home network has no coverage.) When roaming, the PRL may instruct the phone to use the network with the best roaming rate for the carrier, rather than the one with the strongest signal at the moment.
Since a PRL tells the phone "where" to search for a signal, as carrier networks change over time, an updated PRL may be required for a phone to "see" all of the coverage that it should, both with the home network and for roaming.

Hi to the Nexus S users. I got a brand new Nexus S 4g this past Saturday coming from a DINC. I'm running CM7 stable. Is anyone having signal issues/slow 3g speeds by the way?

Can't say for sure since I have a Tmo NS but having had Sprint I can tell you my wife and I had those issues with all Sprint phones. Their 3g speeds SUCK.

Make sure you have ke5 or ke1 radio

Having the correct radio will give you better reception, which will give you a more reliable connection. As a result you may see increased speeds. Keyword is may. You can decrease your ping by setting a local server ip your phone first connects to. Search for lowering pings. For radios, flash using fastboot. Please be sure to read up on radio flashing as a mistake could be catastrophic. Good luck

I am also new to the NS4G, having switched from evo 4g. Sprint 3G has always sucked the big one and I don't notice any appreciable difference between nexus and evo speeds.
The phone reception IS quite a bit weaker than the Evo however.

Whatever floats your boat. Just saying flashing another radio won't improve your speeds by 200%. You probably just had a bad factory radio or bad radio flash. Always important to verify MD5 before flashing radios/basebands.

Nexus 4 Lte in the Los Angeles & I.E area for T-Mobile

Can any one conform that LTE is working for T-Mobile in LA and I.E area I can't get it to work on mine? I called T-Mobile to see if there's LTE the lady said yes but no luck can any one confirm its working in this area I'm in Pomona California

You have to apply the LTE hack in order to get LTE on TMobile.
LTE on Nexus 4 is not officially supported and was removed in a radio .48 and above.
So basically,
1. Flash a baseband that is older than .48 (such as .33, .29, etc).
2. Flash the voice fix
3. Build prop change.
This of course is very general, do some searching on XDA and you'll find what you need. #2 and #3 can be done via flashable zips, just find it. You'll probably find things out there that will show you how to manually do that but that is very time consuming, especially if you flash updates to roms which will override it.
Want confirmation? http://www.tmonews.com/2013/05/t-mobile-lte-sightings-abundant-in-los-angeles-area-this-morning/

Try .27, its rumored to be better than .33 in terms of reception. Mileage may vary.

LTE in LA is fast as **** on the .33 and on the .27 radios...
i got it from Culver City all the way to North Hollywood...i am in Long Beach so I don't go to LA all that often but this was all last week...as for the IE i do not know

Yes if you have no internet while on a call its because you are NOT on 4G, or WiFi.

That's because the s3 is able to use 3G and calling at the same time. The S4 doesn't have the hardware for it. Since you say you have 4G in your area, when you make a call are you connected to 4G or 3G?

I have 4G when it does this and this was doing that right out the box before I rooted it so thought it was just how the s4 was until it was rooted

Well all I can tell you is it works great. I just tested it, my phone was showing LTE, I placed a call, and when I was on the call I opened up internet and surfed a couple of pages, ran a speed test, and surfed facebook. So it is definitely something you are doing. You mention you are rooted, did you install a custom rom, which one? Your S3 had SVDO chip which allowed simultaneous data(3g) and voice. Sprint or Samsung got cheap and didn't include SVDO with the S4 because they hoped LTE would be more widespread by the time the phone was sold.

Double-check in your settings what mobile networks the phone can use. Specifically, make sure it's showing both CDMA AND LTE, and not just CDMA. For some reason, some ROMs default to just CDMA.

I did switch it it's still the same i don't know what it could be never had this problem before

Well, if that's the case then your phone is broken and you should take it to Sprint and have them replace it. Your phone should definitely be able to access data when on a phone call if you are on LTE or WiFi.
